We like to highlight the wonderful charity work being done across North London by a charity set up on March 26th called ‘You donate…we deliver’. The charity now has over 100 volunteers, including chefs and delivery drivers and 6 regional hubs across north london from which the food is gathered and distributed. The charity sends over 2,000 home cooked meals daily to several north london hospitals, including The Royal Free, Barnet General and Northwick Park to feed the doctors and nurses, as well as baked goods and fresh fruit. This enables our heroic NHS staff to eat proper fresh food, day or night when they can. I have been happy to support this charity over the last month and have so far cooked and delivered 200 meals and 100 baked goods. We have Elli Kavadas who cooks  weekly and has made Greek meals such as pastichio, revithia, soutsoukakia and fages. She is  joined also by fellow North London Cypriot, Dania Stavrou, who is also cooking and donating her healthy home cooked meals, every week. Thanks to local food retailers Greenhill Grocers in Barnet, run by Greek Cypriots Geroge and Crystalla Voskou and son Emilio, who have been supplying us with quality fresh produce with which to cook our meals.

The girls feel that the work the NHS doctors and nurses are doing is phenomenal and the nation is indebted to them. If anyone would like to join the team and volunteer to cook to deliver meals, please contact Melissa (founder) on 07889 861681.
